Jason E. Brooks, an entrepreneur, author, speaker, coach, and founder of Hospivation LLC, has a passion for the hospitality industry, and is dedicated to empowering leaders through his book, “Every Leader Needs Followers.” 

His book provides a roadmap for transformation, offering ten actionable keys to success while preserving individuality. 

“I’ve been trying to find how can I truly give back?” Brooks shares with host Shawn Walchef. “That’s one of the main reasons why I wrote this book. “

Reflecting on his own journey, Brooks recalls the profound impact of a mentor early in his career. The exemplary leadership style from an early mentor left a lasting impression, teaching Brooks the essence of true leadership. His mentor’s deep connection with his team and customers laid the foundation for Brooks’ understanding of effective leadership and the importance of knowing one’s numbers.

“He was the mayor of 4000 sqft,” Brooks recalls. “I kid you not, he knew every single person to the t.” 

When it comes to personal branding, Brooks focuses on growth and resilience. He stresses that personal branding isn’t about perfection but rather about embracing growth and learning from failures.

“Personal branding…is just about growth,” Brooks asserts.  “It’s about getting better. It’s about failing forward.” 
Jason E. Brooks’ insights and experiences offer valuable guidance for aspiring leaders and entrepreneurs in the hospitality industry and beyond.
